Sucking on ice chips is a way to decrease thirst without adding a large amount of fluid. Rinsing the mouth with cool water and frequent tooth brushing are helpful also. Carbonated drinks contain sodium and will enhance fluid retention.

Anxiety can be defined as a vague feeling of apprehension resulting from a perceived threat to self.
